Kathy Anderson Lamb filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in October 2008, claiming that the school district violated her First Amendment right of free speech and also violated federal and state public policy.
Lamb said her contract to teach special education students was not renewed because of a stance she took against using corporal punishment on a severely autistic child.
She asked for a jury trial, which is set to be heard by U.S. District Judge Sharion Aycock.
